i dream of arashiyama

there is a magical place, where the birds sing and the wind dances. the bamboos sway and the raindrops glisten on the hydrangeas. when you're there, all your worries magically disappear. you close your eyes and you just feel at peace.

in this quaint town, there is a charming family-run establishment. they serve seasonal dishes that represent the nature that surrounds them. mountain vegetables are picked by family members, fish is caught locally in the stream, and fresh tofu is made locally on a daily basis.

i dream of going back to okina in arashiyama.

it was a one-of-a-kind experience that can't be experienced anywhere else in the world.
nothing compares to this dreamy place. take me back to june.
